Spoiler question

The 4Runner configurator on the Toyota website has two different spoiler options:
"Rear Aerodynamic Spoiler" ($399) and "Rr Spoiler w/ Center High Mounted Stop Lamp" ($200).

I've seen 4Rs with the different spoilers. One is a thin, rectangular black bar. The other is thick, curved, and (I think) body-colored. So which one is which?

The one with the center mounted lamp is the body-color painted one I believe (as mine is the curved painted one and it has a center mounted lamp ...).
 
The spoiler that Colemanfu shows is same as the $200 one. The $399 aerodynamic spoiler was introduced on the 05s and sticks up a lot more on top. A search will probably turn up some photos. It doesb't have an LED brae light, just normal bulbs. Both are painted(or will need to be) body color.

I've '05 Limited with factory spoiler. It has raised front part, so it more aerodynamic. It also has LED stop light. I'll look in my archive for some images.
 
The areodynamic spoilers are port or dealer installed thats why they are $399. The $200 factory installed spoiler has the hump in the middle which I think helps air to blow downwards to keep the sulpur smell from rising and entering the truck when the back windows are opened. I personally like the factory installed spoiler of which already comes with the factory. Most southeastern dealership you have to get it port or dealer installed which doesn't have the hump in the middle. :o
 
Ok, here are some images of my spoiler taken 5 month ago:

I must be thinking of a spoiler from a previous generation, like:

or

Thai's 02

I guess that's no longer available. Shame, I think it's far better looking that the two current spoilers.
